The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is
adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen
by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

The adventure can take place in a slightly shifted reality, where everybody has a totem (an animal guardian). The totem should be chosen randomly and not by the player, it is ok if "Gorflin the Large," a gigantic and aggressive barbarian, has a mouse for a totem.

These totems will assist the characters in small way. It is up to the characters to determine how to get the assistance; the animals won't solve mysteries for the characters only supply the clues. The character may even have a dream where his or her totem actually speaks to them and reveals some sort of clue.
